During the making of the advertisement, each person spent 30 minutes sitting perfectly still in a dentist-style chair. They wore make-up to alter their skin colour, and their facial features were filmed and then transferred onto body doubles. It took a year for the advertisement's producers to find doubles of different races who had the same facial complexions. Kai Hsiung, of RSA Films, said: "Chris Evans loved the result and kept the make-up on afterwards so he could go and surprise a friend in hospital. "Mel B laughed and laughed at herself. She was filmed the same day as Andy Cole and he was winding her up that she looked better than before."
"Britain is very multi-cultural and we're stupid to think we can ignore it." David Seaman, who appears as a black man with dreadlocks, said: "I was tempted to keep the make-up on get some petrol on the way home and see what the reaction was." The advertisement makes its debut on Channel 4 on Friday evening. |
